Defend Pro Shorts

Mountain bike shorts built for durability

Our Defend Pro Shorts take the already trusted durability of the Defend line and bump it up another notch. While TruMotion® all-way stretch fabric will keep you agile on the climb and covered on the descent, the large Cordura® hip panels provide additional abrasion resistance for even more peace of mind. Moisture management is handled via TruDri®, which moves dampness away from your body as you’re sweating it out on climbs, and the durable DWR finish helps to shed moisture, dirt, and debris.

These shorts also feature a longer inseam and help you stay mobile while eliminating pad gap, while t race-ratchet closure means you can make on-the-fly adjustments to get the fit just the way you like it. Ventilation is no afterthought either, with body-mapped laser perforations to increase airflow and keep you cool.
